Pros

IBM pays well, offers you opportunities to learn new technologies, and will help you further your education with a Master's Degree.

Cons

In IBM, it sometimes takes a long time to get something approved by 'legal', or for the paperwork to go through for a project. This is very frustrating sometimes, and the efficiency of IBM as a whole could be greatly improved if they worked on this.

The remote employee-itis

Pros

The positives outweigh the negatives in the work life balance, working from home. However the needs of the individuals in remote settings are often difficult to harmonize for the benefit of a team and the individuals involved. IBM is addressing this issue in a number of ways and stimulating good ideas to bring the challenges into focus so that there is inspiration and greater productivity. I find that heartening as I personally enjoy working from home but miss some of the values derived from face-to-face stimuli with colleagues.

Cons

It is a HUGE company that requires strong navigational skills to work into all of the values and be the most productive employee one can be.

Good place to start

Pros

Great place to start off your career if you are unsure where you want to land. There are endless opportunities within the company and you can easily transfer departments if you want to change your career.

Cons

Too big of a company that sometimes you end up being just a number. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
